Their past performances provide a solid foundation for this proposed unit. Karina and Seulgi have already showcased their compatibility during the SMCU unit song “Hot & Cold,” while aespa and Red Velvet have come together for the festive collaboration “Beautiful Christmas.”
These instances prove not just their ability to work together but also their versatility and individual talents as dancers and vocalists. After all, the four stars are considered as “Aces” among their peers.
The potential unit has been likened to SM Entertainment‘s female supergroup project, GOT (Girls On Top). Fans believe that this new combination could be the next iteration, bringing together the strengths of two of the company’s most successful groups.
The idea of such a unit is not unprecedented in K-Pop, but the unique combination of these particular idols from SM Entertainment makes it a tantalizing prospect. It represents a blending of generations within the company, showcasing the legacy of Red Velvet alongside the recent rise of aespa.
